This agreement does not outline specific amounts or debts, but it emphasizes establishing a framework for joint investment and mutual benefit, noted Deputy Minister of Economy Taras Kachka.
“Currently, we are exploring the development of a mechanism that would ensure ongoing support from the US, encourage investment in Ukraine, and yield returns on these investments for both Ukraine and the US. We would welcome it if these returns surpass the assistance provided by the US,” the official commented on the negotiations.
According to Kachka, the benefit of the agreement for the US lies in the return on investment in Ukraine. However, this should not be viewed as “repayment of debts” for the assistance received.
“If it benefits the American people, that’s a positive outcome, as there will be advantages for the Ukrainian people as well,” Kachka remarked.
During an interview US President Donald Trump said that the mineral deal will be signed on Thursday April 24.
